Hartford Athletic suffered a 4-0 loss on the road at the hands of top-5 side Nashville SC. Nashville scored all four goals in the second half of the match.
Hartford fell behind early – but not on the scoreboard. In the fifth minute of the match, midfielder Mads Jorgensen was given a red card after a hard tackle on Nashville Captain Michael Reed. Despite the absence of an 11th man, Hartford Athletic went into the half with the score tied at 0.
Nashville broke the match open in the second half. Ken Tribbett, who came on for the injured Redd, recorded the opener for the home side with a header off of a free kick. Daniel Rios, Alex Winn, and Ropapa Mensah each added a goal in the next 20 minutes to end any hopes of a comeback from the short-handed Hartford side.
